How to Keep Glass Shower Doors Clean and Spotless

Glass shower doors can be a challenge to keep clean, as soap foam and dirt can build up over time. Fortunately, there are several methods to keep them looking spotless, from Rain-X to rubbing half a lemon. Wet & Forget Shower is a weekly shower cleaner that removes soap residue, shower dirt and body oils from glass shower doors. Frosted glass is created by sandblasting or engraving on one side of the glass panel to create an opaque texture, but it can be more difficult to clean than regular clear glass.

To further prevent hard water stains and keep shower doors clean, spray them with a water-repellent spray, such as Rain-X, or consider installing a water softener to reduce mineral build-up. A simple self-made shower cleaner with ingredients you have at home can help get rid of strong stains without harsh, irritating chemicals. Rub this eco-friendly cleaner on the glass shower door with a non-scratching sponge, then rinse with warm water. To make it easier, keep one hanging in the shower and remind family members to do so after every shower.

Frameless transparent shower doors (and screens) are fairly easy to maintain. Often used in freestanding corner showers, curved glass shower doors give the feeling of a larger space. Many styles of glass are very distinctive from each other and can add a varied look to the shower and bathroom. If you really want to go for something unique, custom glassmakers can use both a dye and a pattern on a door.

Depending on how they are installed, these windows and doors may also require strong nuts and bolts to keep them stable, so it's important to have adequate space for frameless options. Leaving the door open after a shower will also help dry it. It will take a sponge, a mild abrasive cleaner and a little bit of effort to keep this glass clean. Wet & Forget Shower will continue to clean and prevent new build-up on the glass shower doors for the next week. There is no longer a need to remove water droplets from the glass shower door when using Wet & Forget Shower.
